The habit of arseuic-eating is becoming more

this city, and physicians say that nothing too
harsh can be uttered against this miserable

deadly drug are daily sold for the alleged pur-
pose of beautifying the com plexion. They who
use II are daily laying the foundation OF q dis
ease that will one day destroy some Of their
most vital organs. The actual object to be
gained by arsenic-eating is that clear, white,

day: The health department. has become
